Waste Program Successes
Trinity River Audubon Center
Pileated Woodpecker. American Kestral. Painted Bunting. These are just a few of the almost 300 species of birds that you can find at the Trinity River Audubon Center in southeast Dallas. But it wasn't always that way. The land was once a sand and gravel mine located adjacent to a residential neighborhood called Deepwood. After the mine ceased operations, the mine pits were used as illegal dumps until the mid-1990s. The City of Dallas entered the site into the Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) in 2002. The remedy selected was to excavate a portion of the property. In addition, cap and continually monitor methane on the remainder of the former landfill while restoring the native grass prairie.
In 2005, the Audubon Society finalized an agreement to run an interpretive birding center at the site. Trinity Trust (now Trinity River Conservancy) raised money to build the facility, and secured internationally renowned architect, Antoine Predock, to design the center. The city broke ground in 2006. The VCP certificates of completion for the site were issued in 2007, and the construction of the center was completed in 2008. The "green building" was built using low impact construction materials and became the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)-certified project constructed by the City of Dallas Parks and Recreation Department.Over 80,000 visitors a year visit the Trinity River Audubon Center. The center hosts programs for kids and citizen scientists, all while restoring the native vegetation to provide habitat for birds of the Great Trinity Forest.
From Eyesore to Art Destination: The Transformation of Lost Pines Art Center
The cars in front of the mechanic shop were almost as rusty as the abandoned grain silos themselves. Although this piece of property was located centrally in Bastrop, concerns over potential environmental liability had up to this point precluded redevelopment. But for the Lost Pines Art League of Bastrop, the property was perfect for a new art center with galleries, classroom space, and a creek path that meandered through a sculpture garden and past the existing silos. They secured a $100,000 grant from the Bastrop Economic Development Corporation and a matched grant of $100,000 from a Houston arts foundation and began on the ambitious project. It took a bold vision to imagine this land as a destination art center, but that vision is finally being realized.
Before the project could move forward, the art league needed to determine if there was contamination at the site. To address those environmental concerns, the site entered the TCEQ Brownfields Site Assessment Program in 2010. Approximately $88,000 was spent by the TCEQ and EPA to investigate the site. After response actions for the site achieved residential land use standards, a Conditional Certificate of Completion was issued on August 12, 2012.
The Lost Pines Art League was then able to purchase the property and began fundraising for the new art center. They developed a master plan for the site and presented it at an event at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines, where the room, equipment, and refreshments were provided as in-kind contributions. From that, the Bastrop City Council approved a $100,000 investment. Once they had shown that the project was destined for success, the money started pouring in. They leveraged over $3.8 million in various grants and donations, including ArtPlace America's Creative Placemaking 2014 Grant.
The main building was completed in December 2016 and since then over 13,000 non-members have visited the center. In 2017, it won the Best of Bastrop Art Galleries award as well as the Best New Construction Under 50k population and Best New Construction People's Choice Awards from the Texas Downtown Association. This project exemplifies the amount of funding that can be leveraged from a small state investment in assessment and the impact that redeveloping a brownfield property can have on a community. Starting with that initial environmental assessment, what was once an eyesore has become an award-winning art destination for Bastrop.

Expedited Permitting
In recognition of the agency's mission, the Waste Permits Division dedicated staff resources to expedite the issuance of a RCRA hazardous waste permit to Expal USA, Inc. These efforts, combined with Expal's motivation to shorten their response timeframes, allowed the permit to be issued on November 22, 2016, a remarkable four months ahead of schedule. TCEQ staff issued a protective permit while helping establish a new business in Texas that provides both economic and environmental benefits.
Expal USA Inc., is a demilitarization processing facility in Hooks, Texas and will disassemble hazardous military munitions, such as artillery projectiles, cluster bomb units, bomblets, mines, grenades and cartridges. Expal plans to initially hire 45 people to operate the site, with additional jobs expected in the future.
Large Component from Sturgis Nuclear Barge Disposed at Texas Radioactive Waste Site
In June 2017, Waste Control Specialists (WCS), the operator of Texas' low-level radioactive waste disposal site located in Andrews County, completed the disposal of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV) from the U.S. Army's MH-1A reactor aboard the nuclear barge Sturgis. Decommissioning of the country's first floating nuclear power station is ongoing in Galveston under the supervision of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The RPV was removed from the barge and placed inside its specially-designed shielded shipping container with a combined weight of approximately 81 tons and transported over 600 miles via road to the WCS site.
Disposal of the RPV required extensive planning and engineering design, all of which was reviewed and approved by the TCEQ. The RPV was offloaded from the delivery vehicle, carried down the ramp into the disposal cell using specialized equipment, placed on a concrete slab base, and encased in approximately 57 cubic yards of concrete rated with a compressive strength of 2,000 pounds per square inch. All disposal operations were conducted under the observation of the two resident inspectors deployed by the TCEQ.
2017 UIC Mickey Leland Intern: Geologic Mapping Project
This summer, the Underground Injection Control (UIC) Permits Section Mickey Leland intern developed a geologic structure map of the top of the basement rocks in the northern Texas panhandle. This is a region covering 20 counties and an area of about 20,000 square miles. The intern developed the map using well logs from the TCEQ and the Groundwater Advisory Group of the Texas Railroad Commission, scout cards, drillers logs, and information from the University of Texas Bureau of Economic Geology. The maps will enable UIC staff to better evaluate applications for deep Class I injection well permits and renewals within the panhandle area relating to seismicity potential.
The maps will provide UIC staff better information on the depth to basement from the base of an injection zone. Knowing the thickness of sediments from the base of the injection zone to the top of the basement is important to UIC staff in evaluating whether pressure increases or injected fluids could travel, or might have traveled downward to the basement, where faults with seismic potential may be located. If this separation is thousands of feet, there is less of a chance the increased pressure or fluids could reach the basement. The intern presented this work at the Groundwater Protection Council's Annual Forum in Boston in September 2017 and was awarded Second Place in the Student Poster Session.

Does owning a piece of a company sound attractive to you? Investing in the stock market may be a good choice for you. Before you put all your money into the stock market, learn as much as you can about how to invest wisely. In the article below, you will find this information.
Prior to investing any cash with investment brokers, ensure you utilize the free resources you have available in order to shed some light on their reputation. If you take a little time to investigate the organization and understand their business practices, you will help to protect yourself against investment fraud.
Stocks are more than a piece of paper that is bought and sold. When you own stocks, you may also get voting rights and other benefits. As a partial owner, you are entitled to claims on assets and earnings. In many cases, you can vote for the board of directors.
Before agreeing to a specific broker, make sure you understand the fees involved. You need to find out about exit fees, as well as entry fees. Fees can quickly add up, reducing your profits significantly.
If you hold common stock, you should be sure to exercise your right to vote. Carefully read over the company's charter to be sure about what rights you have pertaining to voting on major company changes. The voting typically happens at the annual shareholders' meeting, but you can also vote by mail.
The return you desire should influence the type of stocks you purchase, for example, if you need a high return, look to stocks that are doing better than 10%. If you'd like to estimate your return from a stock, find the earnings growth rate that's projected and add that to the dividend yield. For a yield of 2 percent and with 12 percent earnings growth, you are likely to have a 14 percent return.
If you want to have the full service of a broker but also make your own choices as well, you should find a broker that will offer both full services and online options. This way, you can let the broker handle a part of your portfolio while you work with the rest of it. This strategy will give you the assistance you need to succeed in your investments.
Give short selling a try. Short selling is when you take advantage of loaning shares. To borrow shares, an investor will have an agreement set up to deliver the exact same number of shares, though it will be at a later day. The investor sells the stock and buys it back after the price drops.
It is not a good idea to invest too much money into your own company. Supporting your company is one thing, but risking you entire financial future by being over-weighted in one stock is another. If your portfolio only consists of your company's stocks, you will have no safeguard against an economic downturn.
Be wary of unsolicited recommendations and stock tips. If your financial advisor is doing well, carefully listen to their advice. Do not pay attention to what others have to say. Of course the best research is the research you do yourself, and when there is a huge market for paid information, you need to trust your own instincts and forget the rest.
Keep an open mind regarding stock prices. One rule of thumb in the stock market is that when you pay more for an asset when related to earnings it provides, the less amount you will get in return. A given stock that seems overvalued at $50 a share may look like a killer deal once it drops to $30 per share.
When participating in the stock market, you should aim to discover a strategy that works for you, and stick with this strategy. It all depends on what you're looking for. For example, some stocks quickly climb up and down the ladder and require constant focus, yet might pay off huge in a short time. Other stocks are meant to be long-term investments. Each investor approaches the stock market from a different perspective. Find the approach that you like, learn everything you can, and stick to your philosophy.
Make your first investments with the bigger, more familiar companies. Any beginner can minimize their potential market vulnerability by building a portfolio based on the stock of larger, more consistently performing companies. Later on, once you have gained more experience, branching out to smaller companies will be less stressful and much less risky. Although there is considerable risk, the small company stock can offer a significant potential for fast growth, especially if the advisors consider it a hot stock.
Now that you have read this article, does the market still hold as much appeal for you? If it does you should get ready to take some initiative and get into the market. You'll be trading successfully very soon with the tips above.

UM coach Mark Richt said beyond blocking issues, UM's running backs need to maximize their carries, and privately, Miami knows it must find an elite back.
Consider: Mark Walton is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry in 16 career games against opponents from Power Five conferences; he has averaged 3.0 or less in 12 of those 16 games.
That's simply not good enough.
Conversely, FSU's Dalvin Cook has averaged 4.6 or more in 12 of his last 15 games against Power 5 teams.
(UM's Joe Yearby is averaging 5.4 yards per carry against Power 5 teams this season, but he obviously isn't on the same level as Cook, his friend and former high school teammate.)
So how does UM find an elite level back, like Cook?
Here's where things stand:
UM has just one running back committed for the 2017 class (Gulliver's three-star Robert Burns), but ESPN has much higher regard for Burns than Rivals does. ESPN rates him as a four-star player, the seventh-best running back in this class and the 67th best player overall in this class.
ESPN has 10 running backs among its top 100 prospects for 2017. Only two of the 10 are not orally committed.
The bad news is that one of those two, Mississippi five-star prospect Cam Akers (rated the second best running back in this class) does not have UM in his top 10, which he released earlier this year. UM has offered him.
The good news is that Miami is strongly in the mix for the other top 10 uncommitted running back: Maryland-based four-star Anthony McFarland, a 5-8 back who's rated the No. 8 running back and No. 70 overall prospect by ESPN. Rivals rates him as its No. 3 all-purpose back and 61st among prospects.
Our correspondent, Peter Ariz, tells me Miami is the leading contender for McFarland, who was recruited by UM offensive coordinator Thomas Brown when Brown was at Georgia last year.
And Ariz says UM is exploring the merits of pursuing Jordan Cronkrite, who left the UF program last week and was rated the No. 25 running back in the 2015 class.
The former Westminster Christian player averaged 4.3 yards on 26 carries this season and is deciding whether to play, according to UF coach Jim McElwain.
If you wondered, the top running back in the 2017 class, Najee Harris, is orally committed to Alabama. And two of the top 10 are committed to Richt's former school, Georgia.
Yes, poor blocking is partly responsible for the disappointing running game. But offensive coordinator Thomas Brown said more is also needed from his backs.
"From a running back standpoint (take) what the defense gives you - at times they get too flustered, frustrated, force plays to happen," Brown said. "That's not how the game works - take what the defense gives you, stick to your keys and play full speed every snap."
• This was eye-opening today: Brown said "We lack some leadership on offense at times. There are some guys that are lead-by-example guys but there's no commanding voice consistently. We need more of that."
• UM gave up five sacks to a Notre Dame team that entered with six all season. So how in the world will UM protect Brad Kaaya against a Pittsburgh defense that has 28 sacks?
• Fox Sports Sun picked up the Nov. 12 UM-at-Virginia game at 2 p.m. and will air it statewide.
• Butch Davis, who is close with FIU athletic director Pete Garcia, declined to rule out interest in the FIU job. Asked if he would possibly take that job, he said: "I love kids and coaching and if the right opportunity came around, I would consider returning."

On the whole, there was a resounding YES from respondents. It seems as though both men and women enjoy a bit of a cuddle and find that intimacy adds to the overall experience of sex.
Many people also reflected on the need for less cuddling and intimacy in short-term, one night stand or fuck buddy relationships.
Q7: How important to you is cuddling and having intimate conversations with a sexual partner?
"Only if you are in love is it important. If it is a buddy situation, it is all about respect and what you both want out of it" (Female respondent)
"Depends. With the person I love, very. With a one night stand its less common unless I'm infatuated with her. Yet often I've had very intimate conversation with strangers – it depends on the context" (Male respondent)
"Depends if it's a long term partner or someone that you have a connection with then yes I definitely want to cuddle and talk, but if its a one night stand with someone I hardly know then cuddling is nice but sometimes the intimacy is hard" (Female respondent)
"Cuddling is nice when it doesn't substitute sex and includes gentle tickling" (Male respondent)
"It's not even an option – if you're not open and intimate, sex is rubbish" (Female respondent)
"Very! It's very intimate to cuddle after.. and communication is everything" (Male respondent)

Tree Or Slab? The Doubling Masters Speak, Part 2
Reggie Washington
LAST MONTH, WE HEARD THE WORD about doubling on acoustic and electric bass—the gospel according to Reggie Washington, Brian Bromberg, Tim Lefebrve, and Reggie Hamilton. This month, we look at the nuts and bolts of setup and equipment, plus we receive big doses of sage advice from our four experts. Whether you play the tree or the slab, these guys are talking to you!
What does your live setup look like when you are using both instruments?
Reggie Washington I always sit when I play either instrument; I feel more centered when I do. Amplification is always an issue with acoustic bass. I have an idea of how I want to sound, and I have control of my sound before it gets to the engineer and the house. I recommend that every bassist learn how bass frequencies work. The research will come in handy on a gig where the soundman is bass-illiterate. You can avoid what I call "the Long Night"!
Brian Bromberg
Brian Bromberg I either play through a mixer to have control of each channel, or use a two-channel preamp, because the front end is totally different between the two basses. This way, I can switch between the two channels quickly and easily. I usually use one or two 4x10 cabinets when I play, depending on the venue size. I love playing my upright through a rig like that because it actually reproduces the frequencies that my upright bass produces. I know that small, portable rigs are easy to move around, but they don't reproduce the sound of my bass accurately. Give me the beef, baby!
Tim Lefebvre Generally with Chris Botti, I am spoiled by having either SWR California Blondes or Ampeg B-15s for the upright, and an Ampeg SVT-4PRO head and 4x10 cab for my Sadowsky or Callow- Hill. I also run the electrics through an MXR Bass Octave Deluxe and Moollon Bass Drive. Chris likes how I use those effects. With my band Rudder, I use my Moollon P-Bass with my secret weapon of choice, a Boss OC-2 Octave. I also use a Moollon Bass Drive, Electro-Harmonix ring modulator, and MXR envelope filter.
Reggie Hamilton When using both instruments, I run my bass guitar to an A-Designs REDDI Direct box to a summing line mixer. I amplify the double bass with a Fishman BP-100 pickup and a Crown microphone, and run both to a Fishman Pocket Blender. Both bass signals go to the mixing board from their direct lines and also get summed to the mixer. From the mixer, both basses go through my Fender amp. The size of the amp changes depending on the size of the gig.
Tim Lefebvre
What are the special challenges and rewards of playing both instruments?
Washington The challenge is moving all this gear around! The rewards include playing a cross-section of different music when you have an acoustic and electric at your disposal. Players seek you out if you have this talent, and the rewards far outweigh the challenges.
Bromberg The challenge is that you have to put in practice time on both to be able to play both equally well. Each bass deserves to be played and looked upon with the same amount of respect and consideration. The upright bass is definitely more challenging physically than the electric bass, but both are rewarding. You have to play both consistently to keep your chops up.
Lefebvre The challenge for me on acoustic bass is developing the right kind of functional facility. It's a lifetime of serious work. The rewards depend on the kind of person you are—they can be in an I-just-played-thegreatest- music-ever, soul-satisfying way, or in a remunerative way. Hopefully both! On electric bass, it's more about striking a balance between playing what I hear, learning new bass styles, but not sounding "muso" at the same time.
Reggie Hamilton
Hamilton The challenge for me is keeping up my skills on both instruments. With life passing by, it's more difficult to be disciplined than ever before. I don't mean just facility and speed, but you need to study the quality of the output. When I stay on top of my game, the reward is being confident enough to go into an unfamiliar situation, play and interpret the new music, interact with the players—in the studio or onstage— and enjoy the event without stuffing my face in the music, even though I'm sight reading.
What would you say to a young electric player who is just starting to discover the acoustic bass, or vice versa?
Washington They're two different animals, people! Learn what makes each instrument unique. Take your time and be patient. If you're serious about making that move, seek out the players who are doing it.
Bromberg Both instruments are wonderful and a blast to play. When you play both, you can play every style of music. As a professional bassist, you double your chances to work and do gigs. The bottom line is they are both the bass, and the bass is pretty badass! Enjoy what both instruments bring to the music and to your big bass-playing smile. In the era I grew up in, it was mandatory for bass players to double. The upright and electric both have an identity and vibe. Plus, you increase your chances of working as a professional bassist.
Lefebvre To any young electric player, I'd say that doubling ain't easy, but it definitely helps your financial picture. I would also hope they learn it because they love that acoustic sound. I encourage all of my electric students to study acoustic bass. To the young upright player, I would say again that doubling ain't easy, but it definitely helps your financial picture.
Hamilton The opportunity to make music should be the goal. They should take a chance, while they can, and try both the electric bass guitar and contrabass.

County District Attorney John Morganelli said Monday that anabolic steroids were found in the room where Garrett Reid was staying when he overdosed on heroin on Aug. 5.
Garrett was working with the team as part of their staff during their training camp.
In a statement released to Players View from the team, Reid's tone was as could be expected.
"As you all know, my son Garrett battled addiction for many years. While there were some victories along the way, it ultimately was a battle that he lost and that cost him his life. Our family feels the pain of that loss every day.
"Today's report saddens me greatly, but only confirms the troubles Garrett encountered in the final years of his life. As parents, we were encouraged by his apparent progress but, like many addicts, he was able to conceal the signs of relapse.
"Jeffrey Lurie, the Eagles organization and the people of Philadelphia have been remarkably supportive of my family throughout our ordeal. I am confident that my son's decisions did not affect our football team in any way. I cannot apologize enough for any adverse appearances that my son's actions may have for an organization and a community that has been nothing but supportive of our family."
Morganelli's report stated that there is no evidence that the steroids were intended to be used by or distributed to Eagles players.
Eagles Chairman Jefferey Lurie also released a statement to Players View regarding the findings.
"The news today on Garrett Reid's possession of steroids is disappointing. It's clear the conduct in which he apparently engaged runs counter to the values and principles mandated for everyone associated with our organization. We have spoken with the league office and have pledged our full cooperation with their requests should there be any. While we remained saddened by the tragic end of a young man's life and know how hard this must be for the entire Reid family, we are extremely confident that Garrett's actions were unknown to those around him and did not involve our football team.
"The NFL has a rigorous drug testing program for its players. It is a matter of record that none of our players has tested positive for any of the steroids mentioned in the district attorney's report."
Situations like this never get easier for anyone that is involved.

Main Article
Irons are probably not the flashiest clubs in a golfer's kit. Drivers and putters get more attention than irons since they are used to start and end a round of golf. But everything else that you do between the tee and the green, you will need a set of irons.
"Workhorse" is a term that is often employed to describe irons, and for a good reason too. If you are a beginner, you need to be especially careful when looking to buy your first set of irons, because of several reasons.
For starters, irons are not sold individually but is sets of up to nine clubs. And there are different kinds of irons suitable for players of different skill levels, and you don't want to end up with an expensive set that messes up your game.
Keeping that in mind, we will review some of the best golf irons on sale in 2017, which includes:
Our Roundup Selection
Callaway Men's Apex CF16 Iron Set
The Apex badge denotes a premium, high-end series of forged irons from Callaway Golf. The Apex CF16 is marketed as a game improvement set, but this is a set strictly for better mid-handicap players with their handicaps closer to the 10-point mark.
Callaway has incorporated multi-material technology from their drivers into these irons and that Cup Face technology does make a serious difference in the distance department.
These could be the best game improvement irons for low to mid handicappers if they are willing to sacrifice some forgiveness for a boost in the distance on shots. These irons are available in configurations ranging from 4-PW to 6-PW, with graphite or steel shafts, and with optional Gap or Sand Wedges.
- Premium looking clubs with a matte satin chrome finish and black badging.
- They are more forgiving than pure blade irons, and give good feedback and feel.
- The distance improvement from the driver technology is palpable, with at least 15 yards gained on each shot.
- A wide variety of configuration options is available.
- They are rather expensive.
- The irons are quite long, and have very compact heads, making them unsuitable for players with higher handicaps above 13 or 14.
No products found.No products found.
This is a busy iron as far as incorporated technology is concerned, with no less than four different styles involved. While the long irons have hollow backs (3-5), the mid irons have half-hollow (6-7), the short irons are cavity backs (8-PW), and the wedges are bladed.
What it means is that each iron is optimized for the job at hand. But it may not be everybody's cup of tea, as there are golfers out there who like some uniformity throughout their iron sets.
As if to counter all that diversity, Cobra has kept the shaft lengths uniform across the set. But we feel that this could backfire as it will further polarize the opinion among golfers, even though there is keen interest in the concept these days.
- Excellent accuracy and forgiveness, make these ideal mid handicapper irons.
- The combination of variable head design and single length seems to give a unique feel to this iron set.
- Good looking set of irons with minimalistic design and badging.
- Quite affordable with mid-range pricing.
- The single length shafts will take some time to get used to, and might require a visit to a clubfitter.
- The distance game does suffer somewhat, probably due to the increased forgiveness.
- Less choice as far as set configuration is concerned.
TaylorMade M2 Irons
With face slots reducing the Center of Gravity and improving accuracy and distance, this iron set could very well be on the top of the best game improvement irons pile this year.
The multi-material clubheads have been optimized with tungsten weights, and we felt a tangible improvement in both overall feel, feedback and shot distance. The shorter irons and wedges have a traditional cavity back design and perform well enough. The exceptionally well made set is available in a wide variety of configurations, from 4-PW to 5-PW, with additional options for wedges.
- Consistent improvement in every department, from the distance to height, and feedback.
- Excellent forgiveness makes this an ideal choice for mid-handicap players.
- They look great and sound great too.
- There is a decent amount of choice, with the option of additional wedges.
- If we were to nitpick, the wedges could have been better.
- The spin levels are a bit on the lower side and might affect shots onto the green while using the longer irons.
Callaway Men's Big Bertha Iron Set
If you want some generous help and forgiveness from your irons as a beginner, this set of irons from Callaway might be the ideal choice. They belong to the super game improvement category, which includes the best golf irons for beginners.
These Big Bertha irons have almost ridiculously huge clubheads that offer maximum forgiveness and ball speed. If you are early in your life as a golfer, we feel that this set ideal for you. Callaway even gives you the option of a hybrid set, with 3-5 hybrids replacing the long irons.
- Extremely forgiving clubs with large faces and large sweet spots.
- Has the option for choosing hybrid clubs instead of long irons.
- The sound is among the best in this category.
- The longer irons/hybrids also give a good distance on shots from the fairway.
- Not the best looking irons, but that is a common complaint about super game improvement irons.
- The feedback suffers due to increased forgiveness.
- Not suitable if you are a mid-handicapper, there are better options available.
Wilson Velocity HDX Iron Set
As a beginner, you don't necessarily have to buy the most expensive set of clubs to have fun on the course. The Wilson Velocity is a clean and straightforward set of steel irons ideal for starters and high handicappers.
Priced attractively and with excellent build quality, they offer a fair bit of forgiveness without looking unduly awkward. These irons fall squarely into the game improvement category with their undercut cavity design.
Though there are no configuration options in the 8 club set, we feel that they could be considered the best golf clubs for the money that is being asked of you.
- Sober and clean looking set of steel irons.
- Excellent forgiveness and improved flight on each shot.
- The steel shafts offer excellent control and feedback.
- A basic irons set that is suitable for beginners and even mid-handicappers.
- Not the best in the business at anything.
- The set offers no configuration choices at all.
- There are no options for hybrid clubs or graphite shafts.
An Introduction To Irons
Irons are probably the first golf clubs that you ever wield when you take up the sport. They can be used virtually anywhere on a hole, from the tee (a long iron), on the fairway and in the rough, and when you get stuck in a sand bunker, or even in shallow water (any of the wedges). They have shorter shafts and are differentiated based on the angle of loft on their clubface. Higher lofted clubs will launch the ball higher into the air.
You will commonly see iron sets that say something like "3-PW" or "4-PW, SW". This short overview of the different types of irons will clear up any confusion you may have:
Long irons
These are the irons with the lowest loft and most extended shafts. Imagine a par 6 hole where you have a couple of hundreds of yards to cover even after you tee off with your 3-wood or driver. This is where you might find a long iron useful. Long irons are numbered 1 through 4, but 1 and 2-irons are not that common. Long irons are harder to hit with, and are being replaced by the more forgiving hybrids these days.
Mid Irons
Mid Irons: Irons from 5 to 7 are considered the mid irons, and these are much more beginner friendly, thanks to their shorter shafts and higher lofts. If you find yourself of hilly courses where you need the ball to climb high into the air on your second or third shot from the fairway (on a par 4 and above hole), you will have to reach for a mid iron. You can also use a mid-iron from the tee if you have a hazard within the range of your trusty driver.
Short Irons
These are the easiest clubs in business with their short shafts and low range. When you want the ball to climb high in the air and land softly within a distance of 150 yards, you use a short iron. Think trees, or small hillocks that you need the ball to sail over, and you get the idea. These irons can also be used to get the ball rolling on the green if you are just a few yards away, using the "bump and run" technique where you use the short iron with a putting motion. The ball will fly a few yards in the air and land in the green with a rolling motion. Numbers 8 and 9 are usually considered the short irons, and the pair is always available with steel shafts.
These are to irons what a driver is to fairway woods. Technically, they are still irons, but they are considered specialized clubs and are often sold separately. They have very high lofts and range shorter than 120 yards. If you need the ball to launch high into the air and land without rolling, wedges are what you would use. Wedges include the Pitching Wedge (PW, basically a 10 iron), the Gap Wedge (GW), the Sand Wedge (SW) and the Lob Wedge (LW). We will discuss wedges separately in another guide.
Even the best golf irons will do next to nothing to improve your game on their own. Along with the correct equipment, swing and stance is also important in golf. YouTube is a great resource for guides on how to hit irons with the perfect swing. For instance, check this video out:
Irons Buying Guide: Blades Vs. Cavity Backs
Golf clubs like irons and woods got their names from the materials used in their manufacture in the past. Fairway woods were usually made from the wood of the Persimmon tree. Irons, on the other hand, were forged from a single piece of metal, usually iron, hence the name.
The traditional forged irons are called blades or muscle backs because of the way the thin clubheads look. They are considered to be better player irons, and you will see them regularly on the Pro circuit. Blade irons are best left alone if you are a beginner or high handicapper since they are very unforgiving and will punish you for all those off center shots. You might consider getting these once your handicap starts pushing closer to single digits.
Cavity backs are modern irons manufactured using the cheaper casting process. They get this name from a hollow behind the clubface. This void at the back puts more weight on the corners/edge of the clubface, enlarging the sweet spot, making them ideal for beginners and high handicappers. Cavity backs fall into the category of game improvement clubs and are recommended for high handicappers.
Irons Vs. Hybrids?
Hybrids are an easier alternative to the long irons, which are insanely difficult to master. They are a great addition to any club set, thanks to their extreme versatility. Regarding utility, they straddle the line between long irons and fairway woods. Game improvement iron sets with hybrids are available from almost all the great manufacturers.
A typical hybrid iron set well have hybrid clubs replacing the 3, 4 and 5-irons. Should you buy a hybrid iron set of a traditional cavity back iron set? Hybrids will make the game easier for you and are highly recommended if this is to be your first ever set.
Iron Sets and Loft Spacing Guide
4-iron to PW is a very standard set configuration. Some manufacturers even provide the option to buy additional wedges. Check the spacing of progressive loft angles on each club in an iron set. The loft spacing determines the distance gap between clubs. If you have a set with irregular spacing, you will sooner or later end up in a situation where you don't have the ideal club for a particular distance shot.
The average recommended spacing is 4 degrees between each club for optimal performance, which translates roughly into 15 yards at their maximum range. But if you are a long hitter with good distance on your shots, consider reducing the loft spacing by a degree to 3. Conversely, if you consistently hit your shots short, increase the spacing by 5 degrees for better gapping.
Our Choice
The market for golfing irons is a pretty complex landscape. Newer products are released every passing month in a variety of categories that target specific player demographics.
In our shortlist, we have tried to provide the top performers from a variety of categories. While the Apex C16 might be considered as the best golf irons for aspiring players/low handicappers, the Big Bertha is unapologetically focused on high handicappers.
The Wilson Velocity is a fantastic budget choice for beginners, while the Cobra King F7 is for those who are adventurous enough to try something a bit different. But in our opinion, the top pick amongst them all has to be the TaylorMade M2, simply because we could not find many things to criticize.
The irons offer above average performance across the whole set, and there is a healthy amount of choice in configurations.
If you want the best golf irons for mid handicappers and don't need hybrids, the M2 could be the best performing set for you.

In reality Mark Martin has not changed much during his 25-plus year in the Sprint Cup Series, but one thing that has changed is his attitude.
My first full season covering NASCAR was 1998, when Jeff Gordon won the championship and had 13 wins. Close behind was Martin, with seven wins. You talk about predictable outcomes? Together those two accounted for nearly two-thirds of the wins that season.
Back then, though, Martin seemed to have a pessimistic slant to his interviews. He often wondered aloud when he won if he would ever get the chance to experience that feeling again. For a guy who was so good, it was hard to understand if he was genuine. I have no doubt that he was.
Fast forward to 2009. Martin joins Hendrick Motorsports for the first time in his career and after a two-year break from fulltime competition in the series, returns to run all 36 races.
He won his first race in the spring at Phoenix and it was one of the most memorable post-race interviews I've been a part of because of Martin's genuine enthusiasm and humble outlook as he returned to Victory Lane - a place he sincerely believed he might not see again.
As the season wore on, he got better. Win after win and suddenly Martin became a top contender for the Cup title - an honor which has escaped him during his stellar career. He was excited, almost in child-like amazement of what was unfolding.
Martin's visits to the media center are marked by his optimism, his genuine enthusiasm to be back to a point in his career where success comes weekly rather than fleetingly.
Even with Jimmie Johnson's 38th-place finish last weekend at Texas, Martin still has a big challenge in the final two races if he is going to win his first Cup title. I don't know if he can do it.
One thing I can tell you: it's inspiring to watch him try.

Earnhardt Ganassi Racing team co-owner Teresa Earnhardt and driver Martin Truex Jr. were penalized 50 points each and crew chief Kevin Manion was fined $50,000 after Truex's No. 1 Chevrolet was found too low in post-race inspection following Sunday's race at Texas.
The loss of 50 points dropped Truex from 24th to 26th in the driver standings. Manion is on NASCAR probation through Dec. 31.
Braun Racing expanding
Braun Racing will field four Nationwide Series teams next season, including a new entry for current Truck series driver Brian Scott.
Team owner Todd Braun has fielded three teams this season - the Nos. 38, 10 and 32. Jason Leffler drives the 38 while several drivers share the 10 and 32. All three of those teams will use multiple drivers in 2010.
Carmichael joins Turner Motorsports
After spending much of the season working with Kevin Harvick Inc.'s Truck team, former AMA champion Ricky Carmichael has moved to Turner Motorsports.
Carmichael will compete in the final two Truck races of 2009 for Turner, run a full Truck schedule in 2010 as well as compete in 10 Automobile Racing Club of America races next season.

Following UNC's impressive victory in the national championship game, Bleacher Report wrote a feature on a faded sheet of paper in star point guard Joel Berry II's wallet. He had recorded his goals for his collegiate career down after an average performance on the court in his freshman year in order to refocus himself for the next few seasons. Over the course of the next two years, Berry would go on to check off every item on that list, including an ACC and National Championship, all before his senior year.
Everyone can take something away from the example set by Berry. Goal-setting is an important aspect of growth and can help everyone stay focused on whatever they plan to achieve. But beyond just recording life goals on a piece of paper, high school students should consider keeping a journal to expand upon this simple list of goals. Whether you have enough time to write down your thoughts everyday, every week, or just once a month, journaling will be always be worth the effort. Students can take the time to doodle and release stress, tell an embarrassing story, rant, or write down a schedule for the day. By taking some time for self-reflection, students will be able to focus on their goals.
Some students may be deterred from journaling for fear that it will be perceived by their peers as a diary, typical of a kid in elementary school. If anyone teases you about having a journal, then they obviously don't understand the concept of self-reflection and should be ignored. In reality, journaling is a sophisticated form of expression and was common among some of the brightest minds including Ben Franklin, Winston Churchill, John D. Rockefeller, and John Adams.
One's time in high school will fly by and it is important to record memories so that experiences are documented. There is nothing more fun than looking back at a journal and laughing about an embarrassing moment, a memorable vacation, or an adventure with friends. By recording parts of their lives now, high school students will be able to remember more later in life when they may need a journal to jog their memory.
For students who are interested in starting a journal, the internet is a great place to start searching for prompts to write about or inspiring quotes to analyze. One website, The Journal CEO, offers a variety of resources for people who keep a journal and can be a great source of motivation. There is no time like the present to begin journaling today.

I don't think people say "Thank You" nearly enough. Myself included.
And sometimes - I think people don't realize there's a limit on how much time one has to say those words.
You only have your "Forever". Only so many minutes, hours, and days on earth. And sure... it's not likely you or I will be missing from earth anytime in the next 24 hours - but life sure can turn on a dime.
So - with that...
To my children. What I've taught you dwarfs what you've taught me. My life wouldn't be MY LIFE without any one of you. I love our family because of you all - and am so incredibly blessed to have been entrusted by God to care for you as your Mom. Thank you for all the laughs and the hugs - the slobbery baby kisses and the best hugs I've ever had. Thank you all for the 2am feedings, the afternoon naps, the spit-up, and every single one of the million diaper changes I've spent with you. Even today, knowing my last baby isn't a baby anymore and knowing I'll never need to buy another bottle, I'm sad that chapter is done. It went too fast and I want it all back.
To You. I'm so thankful and happy to have found you. I'm glad I stayed when I wasn't so sure. Thank you for loving us ALL - for taking care of us all. For being my Rock. For being the head of our household. Thank you for working hard, for letting me sleep in, for taking me out, for loving me and making me laugh even when I'm mad. Thank you for rules & discipline for our children. Thank you for keeping me warm every single night and for letting me have too many blankets on our bed. I'm sorry I'm a freeze chicken. Thank you for thanking me as often as you have. I loved it and because of you, I know how important it really is to say those words. Seriously... even when it's leftovers for the third night in a row - you always complimented dinner. Wow. Thank you for knowing the difference between a gift & a present - and for the life I have today. Thank you for US.
To my family. To those of you who have come to belong in my family. I love you all and cannot wait to spend many hours with you in the coming days.
This by no means covers everyone or everything - but it's my start. I'm off to buy some Thank You cards today and will be writing in lots of them.
Who will you remember to thank today? Who do you owe a thank you to from the past?
I love you guys so SO much today!
Mom, Me, Yours

I bought this beer just for the curiosity of how a honey Belgium style beer brewed in bourbon cask would taste. If you do a Google search, its been mostly massacred. Just in my household the beer caused some major controversy over its taste. Personally, Shock Top's Honey Bourbon was so unique that I found myself sipping it continuously because I couldn't put my finger on what I liked and disliked.
Here's what the brewer has to say about the Honey Bourbon Wheat: This Belgian-Style unfiltered wheat ale is brewed with honey, caramel malt, and aged on bourbon cask staves for the perfect balance of flavor and refreshment all year round.
Shock Top
Belgium Style Unfiltered Wheat
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Price: $8-$9 6/pk
My Tasting Notes:
The Honey Bourbon pours with a copper haze and very little head. You can definitely smell the honey and bourbon hints on the nose. The honey is definitely at center stage here and I can see why some folks would characterize this as syrupy. Though I found that the finish bourbon cask flavor toned down the initial honey taste for a nice balance.
I honestly kept sipping this beer trying to pin point what the entire flavor profile was. All the flavors are kind of a mess on the tongue, but I found this bizarre in a good way. If you are adventurous I would recommend having this on a flight or tasting night with friends. It was intriguing to see people's reaction to Shock Top's newest addition. Like I said, you will get some really strong opinions of, "God that was awful," to "damn that was pretty tasty."
This week we paired the Honey Bourbon with a delicious bowl of Beer Bacon Mac and Cheese. Recipe and photo by Donna Elick. This was definitely the ultimate comfort food and paired nicely with the sweetness of the Honey Bourbon beer.

Product Description
Chris Johnson RB/Titans : The determination at #1 is between Chris Johnson and Adrian Peterson. The stats demonstrate that Johnson will get even far more carries with no Lendale close to and Adrain fumbles as well a lot.
There are lots of different fundraisers you can run with cheerleading squads. You could do an eco-friendly fundraiser the place you promote environmentally friendly goods. The Jamba Juice fundraiser is well-liked with several cheerleading teams. You could also sell custom silicone wristbands, and then there are several seasonal fundraising ideas you could investigate as well.
Another way wristbands support your fundraising efforts is by providing entry manage and promotion for your fundraising occasions. You could line up guest speakers or celebrities to draw in crowds of individuals to attend your event. It's a very good concept to use wrist bands to handle access at your occasion or recognize diverse groups of people. You could use various colours to signify and honor VIP donors or volunteers who possibly have special access. Or you can even use them as your guests' ticket pass to get into the occasion.
No matter what you are sporting, a bracelet will constantly go nicely with it. As it has out of the blue become a lot more popular than prior to, the jewellery industry has come forward with a variety of new patterns and styles. This trend has spread about the world and now men's bracelets are available in a great deal of various components. While most of the jewelry market concentrates on ladies, there is a little portion which brings out striking bracelets that are not only nicely developed but also resilient and low cost. Whether you want to hold the jewellery subtle or want a vibrant gold bracelet, you will discover them all in the web.
Many of these races can get very crowded, specifically at the starting up line. Just be patient and don't attempt to get to the front. If you're a walker, try out starting up distant from the pack. In addition to, most individuals will almost certainly be passing you. It's hard for runners to run by a slower person in this kind of a fleet, particularly if there is a large group of walkers.

Earlier this week, the Fray captured the top spot at Twist & Shout, and we wondered if that trend would carry over nationally. Well, it looks like indeed it has, as Isaac Slade and company have toppled Springsteen, as Billboard put it, to claim the number-one slot on Billboard 200, by registering nearly 200,000 sales of its self-titled sophomore release. The exact figure is reportedly 179,000 units, which outdid the act's previous best sales week, Christmas of 2006, by 29,000 copies. Although the album has done well at the registers, it continues to take a beating by the critics. Later today, we'll post a roundup of the more scathing reviews from across the country.

Last year we did Matthew's senior session and this year it was his beautiful sister Amanda's turn! She decided to do the shoot at her riding barn so we could have access to her horse, Yogi. He was so sweet, and really showed alot of personality in their pictures. Matthew just got accepted into the UW and Amanda is also considering the Purple and Gold, as well as Oregon State and WSU...basically a college where she can keep her sweet boy close by! She's been working really hard with her trainer, Nancy, to re-train Yogi in the proper way and she loves participating in 4-H. She's also heavily involved in band, where she plays not 1, but 3 instruments!
Amanda and Yogi both did an excellent job in her senior shoot and with the help of my super talented hair and makeup artist, Deborah Lobe...she looks incredible. There's a very Old Hollywood vintage glam feel to many of her shots :)

ABSEILERS have started coating the Spinnaker Tower in blue paint this morning.
The Portsmouth landmark is getting a makeover following the decision to award airline giant Emirates its naming rights.
The original plan was to paint the tower red - but a backlash resulted in new plans being drawn up and a stunning blue, white and gold finish being agreed upon.
The bottom legs of the tower will be painted blue in time for the America's Cup World Series from July 23 to 26.
Part of the structure will also be painted metallic gold after the cup.
Spinnaker Tower bosses have tweeted a picture of workers beginning the paint job today.

Richard Dawkins "Greatest Show on Earth"
If I wasn't an indoctrinated corporate drone I would be a scientist, and indeed, back when I was a wee boy I dreamed of becoming a geologist. Boy, did I know my gray rocks from the slightly lighter gray rocks and so on. I took great delight in walks in nature finding moraines and tills and other long-gone remnants of geological implication (glaciers, mostly), and I could tell rombeporfyr from feltspat and point out the probable processes involved in creating the shapes and colors. It was a glorious time, and I've still got it I think (and I've passed it on to my kids who always make me carry tons of rocks back home ... there's poetic justice if I ever heard it), but nowadays mostly through the local geography (which is interesting in its own mind as the Kiama area are remnants of several epochs of volcanic activity on top of sandstone, with a strong iron presence. I'll probable make a post about all this in the future sometime).
Knowing something about geology makes you somewhat aware of what's known as geological time, a time frame that spans billions of years. And, as some might suspect, trying to get a grip on what 'billions of years' for a mere human is is a daunting and often failed task. But a rudimentary understanding of geological time and processes also rendered me immune to a lot of otherwise human misunderstanding and nonsense that our cultures have built up over time to explain all that which we didn't understand. So if you understand unstable (ie. radioactive) isotopes in rocks and their half-life, how they break down (as a figure of speech) from an unstable to a stable form, you have no problem understanding other processes that also runs across billions of years, and indeed, runs parallel to geological time and processes. And to someone who not only knows a few things about rocks but also those things which you find inside rocks, evolution is not hard to grasp, at least not the tenant that it is right there, in front of you, staring back at you after you chipped that piece of rock off from the rock wall. For me, it was the most natural thing, and indeed sparked my deep interest in all things biological as well.
So for me to read Dawkins book "Greatest show on earth" was more like a dumbed-down defense of something that I thought no one was stupid enough to refute. But, there it was, in the first chapter, a fleshing out that there were indeed idiots out there who just could grasp the most basic notions and evidence, people who actually thought everything we see now has been unchanging for all the time the earth and the universe have existed; about 10.000 years. Huh? *blink* Maybe the sub-title should have tipped me off; "The evidence for evolution", as if we needed more evidence than what was taught in school.
Then I realized that not all the kids I went to school with paid too much attention when such big issues came up. They probably passed the tests and all, but I did not see them engage with (or annoy with too many questions) the teacher the way I think I did, they didn't go out into the woods to climb rocks and find fossils themselves, they didn't deduce the layers of a side of a deep canyon with a river at the bottom who was responsible for the canyon, who dug it, how the shape came to be. I guess they ended up not knowing as much, at least not on these subjects.
And that was the greatest surprise for me; the world really needs to be convinced that evolution is real?
It was like someone pinched me; here I was thinking our human species were going places, and then I found out that the truth somehow is in question, that people were actively disagreeing with the fact that the earth was flat, young and static (and yes, that was satire). Looking at their argument against is nothing short of a laughing matter, all attributed to the fact that their faith is in disagreement with the science. Ouch. So who do we think is right? The people of faith and no facts, or thousands of scientists working together for hundreds of years on the greatest Utopian adventure humankind has ever ventured on? Oh, the irony.
But still, for me, in short, is that the book is great; it's well-written, perhaps two notches too intelligent in places (c'mon, references to poetry? Who reads poetry anymore? And it uses a lot of big words, excluding huge parts of the intended audience), but a tad bit too apologetic as there is nothing excusable about being ignorant by choice (although I understand that this angle is mostly for the US market) and, I feel, just way too soft on the "opposition." These people are clearly not just history deniers, they are outright dishonest about their thirst for truth and knowledge, probably wouldn't know epistemology if it hit them over the head, cannot fathom that human traits and physiology only makes sense in evolutionary terms (have you checked your vestigial parts lately?), and since the discovery of genetics the huge amount of science that only works if evolution is true over geological time. I agree that thinking evolution is not true is crazy on a scale of, err, biblical proportions, and as much as I this book wasn't for me, I guess there is a strong need for it if there truly are this many nut cases out there who will deny anything if it doesn't sync with their faith or holy book. Weird and sad, but then that's what happens when you deny truth and, you know, that which sits right in front of you just waiting to be seen.
